Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Problem with MathML entities in PDF
FOP doesn't do font sets. If you need a character from the Symbol font, then you need to put the character in an <fo:inline font-family="Symbol"> when using FOP. I'm not sure how you would integrate that into mathml processing, though.
